In this episode of Tell Me Where I'm Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean dive into an honest and wide-ranging conversation about personal health, UK politics, and culture in modern Britain. From NHS experiences and flu jabs to the Green Party’s growing momentum under leader Zack Polanski, the pair explore what progressive politics and compassion look like in 2025.
They also discuss a recent BBC Panorama investigation that exposed serious misconduct, including racism and misogyny, at Charing Cross Police Station, and what this says about policing and power in the UK. The conversation expands to cover capitalism, housing struggles, and the importance of hope and activism in challenging times.
Alongside the heavier topics, the hosts find time for some laughs, touching on queer cinema history through the classic 1977 film Outrageous and sharing their ongoing fascination with famous Australians.
Enjoy the ride!
